Parsons Sun Endorses Runyan
The editors of the Parsons Sun write that in the "9th District there are two concerned and capable people running but, more fortunately, one of them is exemplary. Kent Runyan is not just an educator with a highly desirable and broad background. As the senior professor at Pittsburg State University's Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Runyan personally teaches both graduate and undergraduate courses."
The Sun also says: "If there were one elected position that should be non-partisan, it would be for those who serve on the Kansas State Board of Education. The need for this was proven by the current board's internationally noted, politically driven antics. Determining how best to educate a child and how that education should be measured has nothing to do with political parties, but everything to do with electing intelligent, thoughtful and dedicated people."
Hat tip to reader TP for calling it to our attention.
